American Women Abroad.


surprised at the small army of American
women that leave their husbands at
home for year or two, as if it were the
most natural thing in the world. They
can not begin to understand the social
system that allows of it, and maintain
that with all the Americans superior
theories about marriage as the mutual
choice of the ones interested, there is
apparently no home life among US, and
not the binding ties that succeed with
marriages on the continental plan ar
ranged entirely by the parents. Neither
the Germans, Russians, English, nor
any other nation, sends its wives and
mothers roaming about the Continent
for year at time without their lords
and masters; while the number of Amer
ican women away from their legal homes
are teyond counting, since they have
run up into the thousands. The queer
thing is that these women have not sep
arated from and have not ceased to be
good friends with their husbands, and
they bewilder the foreign student of
American manners half to death by
treating the situation as if it were the
most natural thing in the world. Often
the plea is that the long absence is for
the purpose of having the children learn
the language, but German and French
governesses can be had in America for
the same that their services command
in Dresden or Paris; and Russians, who
speak perfectly all the European Ian
guages, as rule, learn them all at home.
Certainly the languages are learned at a
dear price, when it comes to separating
the family, closing the home and teach
ing the children tongues that they never
have the chance to use after their return,
unless they are girls who manage to
shine in the diplomatic circles at Wash
ington. Mexico is our only foreign
neighbor whose language would be OF
advantage in the practical business life
of an average young American; but did
any one ever hear of mothers going in
any number to Mexico, or even to Spain,
to have the children learn that tongue?
One clever woman here, who was
asked what she was going off to Europe
for and leave her husband to play the
eligible to all the pretty girls, answered :
That's just what am going for, to
give him a chance to have good time.

Pulpit Thoughts.
CHICAGO Inter- Ocean.


Il had an odd experience the other
Sunday said one of the most promi-
nent clergymen in the city. Il was in
the midst of my sermon, thoroughly
warmed to the subject, and was talking
first to the people on the main floor and
then to those in the gallery, when / no.
ticed directly in front of me a restless.
chubby boy who insisted in leaning over
the gallery rail. Occasionally he would
get one leg up as though he were going
to climb over, and his mamma would
make clutch at him and put him down
with a bounce on the seat beside her.
In two minutes the boy would be again
in his favorite attitude of looking down
on the people below. An undercurrent
of my thought took up the possibility
of Tic boy toppling o,el and hie -ae.her
clutching at him, grasping one foot and
tugging with might and main to drag
him back, while the fat man behind her
exerted himself in assisting her to main
tain her own equilibrium. This stub
born undercurrent worked persistently
at this spectacle until it came to the
surface in climax that set me laughing
in the midst of my sermon. Of course
nothing OF the kind occurred. My Sec
ondary line of thought had simply taken
up the merest suggestion of possibility
and worked forward to ridiculous eli
max. DIR. Patterson told me on one
occasion of similar experience of his
own. He was preaching very earnest
discourse and was carrying his congre-
CATION with him, when an English pug
dog crossed the line of his vision. The
dog attracted the attention OF no one in
the auditorium, and there was no reason
why it should have attracted the atten-
tion of the preacher, but the thought

tail was curled once more what would
happen2 Would it not be possible to
curl the tail so tight as to lift the hind
parts of the dog and start him walking
on his fore feet with his tail in the air2
All the time he had been going on with
his sermon, but when this odd conceit of
giving the dogs tail an extra curl came
over him he burst into hoarse laugh.
The interruption came not only in the
middle of proposition, but in the mid
die of sentence. He broke off with
out ceremony into laugh that startled
himself quite as much as the congrega-
ton. Once started he found it very
difficult to stop, and although he used
his handkerchief and made pretense of
having paroxysm of coughing, still he
laughed until the tears came. Even
when he started again on his sermon he
found great difficulty in getting away
from the idea of that dogs tail, and
several times his voice trembled and he
had to shake himself as one in a dream

Early Quaker Marriages.

Before two Quakers could marry
that is, and remain in the society-the
parties were required to attend a meet
ing and publicly announce their inten-
ton of being welded. A committee
was then appointed, which instituted
inquiries to discover, among other
things, whether the man was in posi-
ton to marry, and whether he was free
from the claims of an earlier affection.
They also inquired into the state of his
health, and whether his relations had
any objections to his marrying, and if
not, if they saw reason to object to his
wife he had chosen. A committee of
women made similar inquiries regarding
the girl, and were very particular in ex-
amining whether she had ever f1irted
unwisely or otherwise misconducted her.
self. That the young couple had not
sufficient means to marry upon was not
considered in itself an insuperable bar,
for the society, not having the fear of
Nautilus before its eyes, had fund from
which grants could be made towards
furnishing. In very early times the
parties were expected to be accompanied
by their parents, or at least to bring
duly signed and witnessed assents from
them, when they attended to announce
their intention of getting married, but
this was soon given up.
On date fixed, the parties were re-
quired to attend another meeting when,
after they had stated that they were in
the same mind, and if the committee of
inquiry had reported favorably, permis-
sion to marry was formally given, and
day for the nuptials fixed.
There was no aPProoch TO a formal
ceremony at the wedding. After a
period of generally silent
the engaged pair stood up and took each
other for better or worse; a certificate
recording the fact was then read and
signed by number of witnesses, never
less than twelve; then perhaps a few
friends might be moved to speak, but if
not, silent worship was resumed as calm
ly as if nothing of Importance had just
taken plaL0.
Fox never lost an opportunity of i'm
pressing on his followers the Importance
of having marriages duly witnessed and
registered, for very early in the history
of the society an event occurred which
showed necessity for these details. In
England, unless the parents have married
according to law, the children are, as
every one knows, illegitimate. The
primitive Quakers were in rather an
awkward fix, for their consciences would
not allow them to be married at church,
and there was in those days no by-way
to matrimony via registrars office.
From about the year 1850 they had
taken each other in the manner describ-
ed, and lest questions should arise, they
had been studious that the certificates
should be largely signed. Some of the
certificates are still in existence, and
frequently bear the signatures of thirty
or more witnesses. Still, the validity
of the ceremony was constantly denied.
The lAnalitu of these marriages was set
at Nottingham.

contract at reduced rate they had in
mind several new inventions, the most
important of which Mr.. w. w. Bunce
has been working over for four years.
Two of his machines are in operation
now in an inner room. They print from
the roll, and turn out the postal cards
pasted in packages of twenty-five. The
machine does it all. 1t prints the cards
in the usual way of a rotary press 900 to
the minute. A set of knives cuts the
cards off, and they drop out of the press
four abreast in little cells prepared for
them. When twenty-five have dropped
out a set of steels fingers turns the pack
age over, twines paper band about it.,
and pastes the band together, after a
pair of knives have clipped off enough
band to go around package. A band
covered with cloth buckets picks up the
packs and takes them out into the main
room, where the girls pack them in boxes
ready for delivery. An addition to the
machine is contemplated which will do
its own packing. There are two of these
machines, and one man can look after
them both he doesn't need to touch
them except to put on new roll of pa
per. They cost $I2oo each, but new
ones can be made for half the price.

A Coin Curiosity.

A wellknown numismatist of New
York city says there is something curl
Gus about the American silver dollar and
half dollar of the coinage of 1904. I'm
that year something like 10000 of the
dollars were coined, but it is singular
fact, as is now known, that not one of
them was known to be in circulation.
Yet the most valuable of all American
coins are two 1904 dollars which are in
well-known collections. They are val
ued at 81, 900 each. 1t has been deter
mined to the satisfaction of every num-
ismatist that these two dollars were not
coined until 1928, although they were
struck from the original 1904 die. They
were secretly made, although such a
procedure is penal offence, for some
one high in influence and authority, who
desired them for certain coin collections.
1t has never been positively ascertained
how the surreptitious work was accom-
plished, but there is no doubt that it
was done. Why the dollar of 1904 was
never seen in circulation after leaving
| the mint, is one of the unsolved govern
ment mysteries.
"A still greater mystery surrounds the
half dollar of 1904. Of that coin near
ly 100, 900 were struck. Not one was
ever discovered in circulation. The
quarter dollars of 1904 are numerous
enough-so plenty, in fact, that a fair
specimen can be bought for 81, and
their coinage amounted to less than u
900 pieces. A curious thing has been
discovered regarding the half dollar of
1906, which is not rare coin, except
in the case of those possessing the curl
osity l speak of, which increases the
value tenfold. This is, that the figure
in 1906 has been struck over figure
q, showing that the coin was really one
of the undiscovered minting of 1904.
What became of the large issue of 1904
half dollars? No one knows or ever
will know; but it is evident that all OF
them were not issued from the mint,
and this belief that there was some rea-
son for not desiring the coin to circu-
late, is strengthened by the mint oblit-
Grating the date on what was left by
making 1906 half dollars of them.
There was no silver dollar issued from
the mint in 1905, yet 32I were coined
and are in the hands of collectors to
day, just as they came from the die. Nc
dollars were coined by the government
after that until 1896

KARA KYLE.

The amount of labor performed by
the majority of farmers wives at the
present day is appalling. Sometimes we
sigh for the good, old times of the past.
To be sure our grandmothers worked
but they knew little or nothing of the
hundreds of perplexing cares that wear
out the life Of the young wife and mother
of the present day. Hurry and worry
kill more than work. The plain, stout,
home spun suits our grandparents were
clothed in were very difernt from the
flimsy, tucked, ruffled and embroidered
suits that the little ones of to-day are
arrayed in.
There comes before my mind as |
write the care-worn faces of many dis
heartened housekeepers. Day after day
passes, but still there is plenty of work
on hand that ought to be done; in fact,
it always seems to be increasing. The
house must be kept perfectly clean, for
dirt in the house is sin (?). The chill

Grandma's Dream.

wonder what grandma is thinking about,
As she sits in the corner there,
With the freight shining into her eyes,
And over her silver hair?
She has laid her knitting across her knee,
And folded her hands so thin,
And know that her thoughts are far away,
In spite of the children's din.
Pm sure it is something strange and sweet
That brightens her eyes so dim;
Perhaps she is seeing the golden gates,
Or hearing the angels hymn!
And she smiles To think that she soon will eros
Where the wonderful river rolls,
And gather the rose of her youth again,

Making Postal Cards.
". Y. Sun,

Fs L . CUHs
In pretty ravine back of the hill on
which the country town of Castleton
stands, ten miles below Albany, there
is cluster of brick buildings, tall
smokestack and small brook that takes
q seventy foot tumble over the rocks.
Up on the side of the hill, in the high
est building, hundreds of tons of rags
AMI paper pulp start; at the bottom
cone out all the postal cards and regis
terd letter receipts used in the United
Staes, boxed up ready for shipment.
there are five buildings in the ravine,
though four of them are joined together
in he paper mill, and the postal card
faGory occupies only low brick struc-
tur, one story high and three times as
loIg as it is wide. In one room the
potal cards are printed, cut out from
tn. sheets, put up in twenty-five pack
ages and boxed. Next to this is the
fIeproof vault, where 20, 900, 900 or so
OF postal cards are kept on hand.
The space in which the postal cards
are made is not fifty feet square. The
mills have the usual paper making ma
chinery, with capacity of six tons a
day. There are three washing engines,
four heaters and two sets of rolling ma
'chinery. One is used to make postal
card paper and the other to do book
work or any other of the finer grades of
paper making. From four to six tons
of rags and lot of paper pulp are con-
Nmed every day.
The postal cards are made almost en-
drely from rags, though occasionally a
percentage of wood pulp is introduced.
The rags are brought in on one of the
smallest railroads in the United States.
The company owns one track road
that runs from the New York Central at
Castleton around the hill to their mills.
They have one engine, passenger car
and postal car. No fares or freights
are charged.
The train starts whenever the people
who work at the mills want to 60 to
Castleton for their mails and returns
whenever anybody in authority wants to
come back. 1t is only little more
than half mile to walk, but the work
people do not believe in walking when
they have a special railroad on which
neither pass nor ticket is needed. The
same engine carries away daily one OF
two car loads of postal cards, which are
taken up to Albany, thence to be dis.

The Republicans have already carried
Virginia on paper at the next Presiden-
tial election. This is fair sample of-the
figuring by which the Republicans are
working out the result of success. One
of the main factors relied on in this Wis
ionary ciphering, as far as Virginia is
concerned, is the protection racket. The
desire of Virginia for protection of her
growing mining interests is to drive her
into the arms of the Republican party as
the only protectionist haven. This is
fallacy of the gauziest. While the Vir-
ginians are protectionists they are still
Democrats, and the fact will be as heavi-
ly felt as usual by the Republicans in
1898
